Statkraft Perú S.A. implements a community relations strategy in the area of direct influence of its operation, which is conducted based on three main drivers: productive development, capacity building and coexistence programs. As a result, the relation between the company and the community has been strengthened, and contributions were made to improve the quality of life of the population through the tools provided during training and infrastructure improvements.
Community relations plan
In 2014, the company executed 90% of the actions included in its Local Development Plan, a key line of action of the Community Relations work. The programs included in this plan were implemented in 32 communities located in the area of influence of its 8 hydropower plants.
The programs were the following:
- Productive Development Program: local development program that fosters harmonious relations between the company and the population through the preparation of studies, profiles, dossiers, and promotes and finances productive projects of community interest. The program seeks to contribute to the local development, promoting the organization of producers for the improvement of technical production, product trading, and generation of more income for households. Mid-term and long-term investments were made.
- Capacity Building Program: local program that seeks to develop technical and management competences in villagers, as well as their capabilities and skills to increase their income. These activities mainly include quick-impact investments. Training is imparted to transfer methodological and technical know-how on agriculture, animal husbandry and capacity building in order to improve techniques with quick impact on their own activities and capacities in the communities.
- Coexistence programs or discretional funds: this program provides quick and direct assistance to communities, and maintains our presence and engagement of communities. The activities include: school campaign, Christmas campaign, attendance in festivities, direct involvement with infrastructure support and donation of supplies, etc.
